Not 'A Charity Racket But A'Worthy Gause .No Pseudo "Crippled Children" To Benefit from Lions Fund. Again the thoughts of the public revert to the Lions Club and the good work they are accomplishing on be- half of the crippled ehtldren. During the next few days the opportuuity is offered to all to help in something truly worth while, and it is hoped to raise funds .a be able to carry out a .program of treating thirty crippled children during the coming year, One of the greatest difficulties to be faced in accomplishing a work of this kind is the fear, iii the avera4'mind that the motley will not go to the pur- -pose intended, For instance, in Tor .onto re.cently a sing teas exposed who were operating what is known as :Charity Rackets. This consisted of private individuals who sold tickets in aid of secheaud-such a charity, often several charities at one time. The echarity benefitted by a few dollars for ;tate use of their name, nothing more. 'The proceeds of the tickets went to the racketeers, who, became known 'among the fraternity by the name of their pet charity. The public was shocked to fund that the innocent little charity tickets were the thin edge of the wedge of American gangdom, for the principle was exactly the saute as that employed by gangs .collecting hundreds of nnilion$ of dollars annu- ally in hig American cities. The citizen; of Huron county- can rest a.sured that the Lions Club act- ivity ,:n. behalf of thecrippled child- ren's fund is etit rely on behalf of that fund and that every cent of the pro- ceeds wti,go for the purpose intended, :and that there will be no "crippled children" in the form of private lad's -- There are certain unavoidable ex- penses, of course, e" in connection with rai ing a fund his ki$d, and poss- ibly a detailed statement showing all donations and receipts and expendi- tures in connection with the hallow.. e'en frolic, would set at rest any un easiness on this point, and it would eliminate once and for all any ques- tion of any but legitimate "crippled children" being aided by this fund. -SOUTH HURON PLOW- ING MATCH A crowd of pix hundred spectators were attracted to the scene of the 'South Huron plowing match held on the farm of Edward Walker. 254 utiles south of Exeter on Thursday after- noon.
